Randall Kirk Hammett RM100KH MTS Signature Series Amplifier

[@nyking0502]

many years and kirk is still tring to bring back metal keep rockin man

[@pivetlord13]

ahhh yeah. back when paul and guitar world did good amp reviews.

[@GuitarRazze]

@claudiodifazio14 He uses it in the tuning room, check it out if you dont believe

[@LordOfThisWorld74]

Ive never used a tube randall but their solid states sound AWESOME. i can only imagine how their tubes sound in person

[@Whit3King]

i like the fact he used emg81and 85 like kirk Hammett does,makes the review more representative of what who its supposed to sound like

[@dimedtexan]

Should include details about effects loop?, foot switch?, can you foot switch between modules or utilize more than one at a time? Love the idea of it all though.

[@thermalegoogle]

Yeah I tried cranking the middles and it does make the sound a lot fatter ; it works pretty good, still keeps the texture of my neck pickup, and you can still hear pinch harmonics very well, so thanks =) Full bass and trebble and 0 middle makes the sound a lot of aggressive and sharp, adding middle makes it heavier, it takes more "space"

[@syxxsyxxsyxx]

I think what everyone has to remember is that this amp is mainly used for his live set up. Although they say that its based on sounds from the album, this amp is strictly designed for his live sound. I have these modules and you can nail his live tone and in some cases some album tones. Respect the amp for what it is and not because its the metallica amp.

[@HeScreamsEpic]

gorgeous guitar

[@Flaminbullets]

That Call of Ktulu bit sounded better than the original!

[@toxicity28]

actually this guy is right so who ever gave a negative comment .well they dont know much about their guitar tech...

[@JohnBenoit46290]

He played with them on the black album and is currently using one on the tour.

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

@claudiodifazio14 Incorrect, he does use his Randall amps and cabs...

[@MattiGardners]

no, if you find the video on youtube where kirks tech shows his current touring rig and you see the mesa rectifiers, the randall and i think there is a marshall too i cant remember tho

[@Daver869]

@claudiodifazio14 I think he used to use Randall, Marshall and Mesa.

[@spaceace78801]

does anyone know "paul from guitar world"s full name?

[@d22587]

Damn, I would take a job at guitar world, it must be awesome playing and writing reviews on guitar gear for a living.

[@GuitarnScythes]

I own an ESP SV and I can tell you that you're 100% right. Its just very simple: LTD = lower quality, lower price ESP = higher quality, higher price Its as simple as that. I've been playing esp guitars for a while I own 4 esp guitars. 1 Actual ESP and 3 LTDs, and i can guarantee you that the ESP is better than the 3 LTD.

[@skiddemon66]

@710ble because with kirk's sound, you can mold it and change it to make YOUR sound. gotta start somewhere...

[@galking371]

is this amp eny good for playing metallica cus im in serious dout if i wana buy it or not? plz help

[@SGTSHOOTnMISS]

ive not been really big on Randall amps but i like the tone, and now the "Kirks sound" is guitar rig 4 :P but i know, this video was out before guitar rig 4

[@themodernguitarist]

@RevisedTV Wait... I just agreed with you. =P But yeah, ESP released the EC-1000T, which will be the 1000 series equivalent of the 401VF. And I think the neck thickness will be the same size as a standard LTD neck

[@jesusalvarado9898]

paul can jam it out sometimes, just not with metal. Either way, always gives a great review. If you really listen, you'll hear what you want to hear.

[@16cam2005]

AWSOME bed head too!

[@barisgurkann]

It is probably an American version of ESP Eclipse. I own the European version which has 4 knobs configuration and bronze inlay. Really nice guitar by the way

[@antoniok99]

@TheBLOODLINEmusic Hi there, just one question please. Is there a big difference between LTD ec1000 deluxe and this eclipse? in sound I mean, THX

[@goldfish881]

Paul has the greatest job in the world.

[@trokeification]

@claudiodifazio14 Actually, he does. At least as a practice amp backstage. In The Big 4 DVD, with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, there's a bonus documentary that shows him practicing backstage with the rest of Metallica, and he's using this amp. I'm pretty sure he uses 2 of these heads in his rack too, along with 2 Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers.

[@JonsDiary]

thats the most beautiful guitar ever

[@Gitrman202]

the guy in the vid or kirk?

[@ThePeeraGuitarix]

How much is this amp????

[@_witchyy_]

Haha, I tried getting a dude to do that, actually play a cannibal song. I told him to try frantic disembowelment and even gave him a link to the tabs, he wouldn't even look at it. But I totally agree with you on everything.

[@Ndesantis212]

what uve read is wrong, he always uses mesa boogies and occasionally marshall cabs

[@AllenHarrison]

i wish they didnt model his sound from their new sound, if they got it close to the studio sound of Master or Justice, that would freakin sweet

[@thermalegoogle]

the setup is ok if you like it, no rules for the tone try to come up with your own home made tone, better sound unique than like anybody else if you want a modern metal sound you generally have to put more bass and treble than middles, quite a lot of gain in general

[@Joe.Shmo.Eskimo]

does kirk even use this amp? in all of the live videos i never see it...

[@HarryRulesAll]

what kinda guitar is dat

[@Overture2152]

not really, LTD is basically ESP just built in either Korea or japan. But they usually have the same woods, and hardware. ESP are like 2000 dollars, and LTD are 1500 and less.

[@Kingddd333]

@RevisedTV Well everybody has different aspects and feeling of guitar. I personally think it feels great

[@Kingddd333]

@RevisedTV Like the ltd 401vf? Those things are probably as thick as a Gibson [Not sure neck wise... close I guess]

[@20GATE91]

@XzaccYXguitarXplayer i dont think they would cause this is an actual company.they normally remove the audio in let's say student films

[@DMetcalfe94]

omg this guy has such an awesome job

[@digitalph33rfan9]

eh it depends on what you like and what style you like playing, I prefer Gibson and Fender and I occasionally play Jacksons when I get the chance

[@hondansx1000]

do randall make any valve combo's? like say 100w

[@miiiq782]

well, he is Paul from Guitar World.

[@CypherThanatos]

@nonmusicman he is not allowed to play metallica stuff. Copyright laws or something like that.

[@TheBLOODLINEmusic]

@antoniok99 Difference in sound, not really. They both sport an EMG 60-81 combo. The main difference in the two, is the ltd and ESP difference and where they're made. Also, the necks tend to feel different. When it comes to ESP Eclipse's, I'd go for the real ESP because it's only like another 100 bucks than the deluxe.

[@RevisedTV]

I like the Eclipses that are as thick as the Les Paul, like the JH truckster, the regular EC's and how thin they are, feel really unstable to me

[@themodernguitarist]

He uses an ESP KH-3, which is like an Eclipse, but I don't think he does as much anymore. I still think he uses a Gibson, but not sure.

[@galking371]

@claudiodifazio14 yes he does, it even says it on metallicas official website.

[@antoniok99]

@TheBLOODLINEmusic THX a lot !! I already have LTD deluxe SWhite and I love it. I just saw that eclipse has 22 frets and deluxe 24. I love that neck in my hand so i hope eclipse and deluxe is comparable. But like you say it tend to feel different .. now I hesitate to buy VB eclipse

[@88fanforlife]

@Christopherwilder47 thats what i say but guitar world goes by copyright, their was a series of videos of dave mustaine explaning some of his own stuff from guitar world and he had to change his own stuff around cause he couldnt play the actual stuff because of copyright

[@WarmothGuitarist]

Randall can thank Bruce Egnater for licensing his interchangable preamp idea to them.

[@hackerwacker4]

@KHGuitarFreak1988 yes but only for clean tones then uses the pedals and this amp is just to get that without doing all that stuff

[@BirdmanDeuce26]

Have you seen him demo the Dave Mustaine Signature V? Pretty mean shreddage there.

[@timijai22]

the engl powerball head is probably the best distortion amp out there. just sayin'. but this one does sound pretty good.

[@triavatar]

i thought EMG was kirk hammetts guitar?

[@themodernguitarist]

@RevisedTV If the ESP version feels like my LTD EC-50, than I'll love it... In fact, I plan on getting an EC-1000T in the future.

[@BS4YU]

how much is this bad boy?

[@GuitarmanIeuan]

I would love this job. Just sittin around playing some guitar and trying out cool shit!

[@Kingddd333]

@vicgarcia30 No... dragonforce is

[@christiandinero8083]

Do they even sell these anymore because i cant find any to buy

[@ironwolg]

+Christian Dinero Ebay man lol you can get em for under $600. probably less soon because he's got a new amp out now

[@16cam2005]

guitar center's website has them, when I saw the price I figured it was for the solid state version but was shocked that it was the tube one, there was 1 for 500 bux, his new kh103 is sick, so much so he only is using them on tour now with no other amps like he use to with the diezel amps

[@petesorensenguitar]

@710ble Funny thing is, like Claudiodifazio14 said, he doesn't even use this amp, so your argument isn't really applicable.

[@HCkev]

I went to a music store to try a guitar I was looking at, and they plugged me on that awesome amp. It's really amazing to play The end of the line and having it sounding exactly like the CD! But you better save your money if you want it, because it is fucking expensive :P

[@willeng84]

@dimedtexan Yeah, its a 3 channel amp.

[@DylieBeans]

that guy owns at playing guitar

[@kristofferjo]

where can I get this amp? I need it! :D

[@20GATE91]

@XzaccYXguitarXplayer mm.. i know what you mean. its not like we are saying we were the ones who came up with the song. People always credit the artist, but i guess WMG is blind to see that

[@Spuger59]

nah dude i have a magazine where he says that he tracked the black album with a 89 gibson les paul deluxe with two EMG's and a strat style ESP with also two EMG's

[@MrORLY]

It's an eclipse, it's got ESP on the headstock rather than LTD

[@thermalegoogle]

hm i'll try these settings then, I get a satisfaying tone with mine but maybe your EQ sounds better !

[@CarbineGuy]

Kinda wish he played some metallica riffs on kirks amp...

[@Vulcanized]

Technically if you wanted Kirk's tone, you'd have to have this amp, add a couple million dollars worth of sound engineering, his hands (most of tone comes from hands) and his signature modified guitar.

[@KevsanBamse]

Tone comes from the amp, technique comes from the hands

[@TheBLOODLINEmusic]

@supersniper1012 It's an ESP Eclipse

[@Daan7000]

@claudiodifazio14 He does use. Ever seen the Making Magnetic that's in the special edition coffin box from death magnetic

[@smiley0800]

hey you guys i'm in the market for a new amp, i have one but it hasn't got enough metal crunch . i'm thinking of a line 6. so does any one have any suggestions

[@CrisTiano7M3tAllicA]

it would be a great test if he does with metallica songs

[@pkerlover]

maybe... but i doubt it, Krik H. isn't and his voice is pretty high too

[@MrORLY]

Kinda. Except the overall quality is better than epiphone. It's on par with Gibson on the expensive models whereas ESP surpasses them.

[@fixxxer602]

dave mustain uses a line 6 ..custom voiced after his favorite marshall

[@Ndesantis212]

umm he has never used randall live that ive seen he has always used mesa boogies and marshalls mainly and this guitar hes using has a 60/81 Kirk's guitars have 81/81

[@Metallica666Thrash]

Doesnt it make sense to play Metallica stuff wen showing off Kirk's amplifier??

[@mustardmanhank]

@minusjason have you seen michael angelo batio :D?

[@shockwavecrisis]

@AcidDrinker13 don't forget the EMGs!!

[@pool741]

he does use randall u just got to look closely ive seen plenty of of times

[@synchroflip123]

@710ble hell ya.....a approove this message!!

[@MattiGardners]

no he doesnt he uses a marshall, one of these randalls and 2 mesa rectifiers

[@keithneuman7986]

Do people forget they sold tons of albums before the wah pedal really got any use. No one rips on Jimmy Page, Slash, Dimebag (R.I.P. Brother), or Zakk for using the wah. THey all use it in different ways but it doesn't make them any less deserving of being a great guitarist.

[@Goldfishtim]

Great guitar player and amp but i would of liked to see some metallica being played on the amp.

[@bryanslash]

if you are watching this is because you want to know how good is this amp and how it sounds not to say why "would i want it if i hate kirk´s sound" if you are not interested on this then why are you here??

[@mesterolsen]

i'm gonna buy this amp!

[@SlapphePikkur]

@fixxxer602 I have the same feeling... He makes products you just KNOW is shitty sound so good. Products you used to think sucks, but then you watch his vids, and you suddenly want the product. And then you try the product, and you hate it. But then you watch the vid again, so this dude fucks with your head!!! But he is good!

[@sakowihe75]

@CiviC092 overpriced?

[@themodernguitarist]

Yeah, I just looked, I wonder why he switched.

[@ACH91332]

well im just saying most people as a whole dont appreciate technical music as much as musicians because they dont understand as much. i know people who dunno anything about music who love dream theater and etc but i know that far more musicians that like dream theater than normal people.

[@pkerlover]

personally i find the amp has more gain than the randall and it also cuts thru the mix better

[@Schecter311]

@supersniper1012 this was out before the Schecter...

[@petesorensenguitar]

@claudiodifazio14 The RM100's are actually brilliant amps but completely different to the Mesas Kirk actually uses.

[@Youngcaz]

LollOL I was wrong. But AFJA sounds would be sooo awesome. Blackened is a bitch to learn!!!

[@Ndesantis212]

He only used a Gibson for St. Anger and the Madly in Anger tour

[@Wildchildinc]

@bajaracer40x its 2k
